This is Edgar the eagle. He was very interested in the camera. The wildlife in Alaska is awesome!
Beautiful Alaska sunset- you can't beat them! This is still summer time, so this sunset was at about 11 pm. :) Strange.
In September, we were able to take a trip of a lifetime to Katmai National Park/Brooks Camp. The only way to get there is by float plane or boat (we did boat). It was a colder day, but it was a BEAUTIFUL day! The scenery there was amazing, and we say about 30 bears! Some close and personal!
Katmai National Park where they have rocks that float. (pumice stones)
This bear was chasing down a salmon that was flopping in the river. (He got it by the way) In June, the salmon are trying to go upstream, so if you ever see a pictures of a bear catching "jumping" salmon, most likely it's here at Brooks Falls. When we went all the salmon are at the send of their spawning season, so they are red colored and really mushy. The bears don't seem to mind though, as they are getting their fill before winter. It was such an adreniline rush to be so close (at one point, about 10 feet accidently) to a bear, but they are so used to people there and are just wanting to eat that they pretty much ignore you. Still, it felt like you were in a zoo......oh, but without the bars. There were some observation decks though.
